Introduction
Assistant Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS) Joel Voldman is interested in the integration of biology and engineering in the development of small scale devices such as biological micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS). His research focuses on improving information storage and transfer at the cellular level.
cell.
screening cytometer manipulates, traps, images and sorts cells (i.e. based on mutagenicity). The Voldman lab is also interested in the fabrication of microscale devices which can create different conditions to grow and study cells. Its design makes use of a combination of physics and chemical engineering modeling and transport. In the picture on the right, the attached tubes allow for the inflow of material. The device can be easily modeled through the use of fluid-flow resistors.
